Peacock does have the tiles up. The times are not exactly the same as above. Most events are off by an hour. As always, the times are hard for US viewers. I'm hoping Peacock does us the favor of providing for delayed viewing, but who knows.

I’ve scheduled Peacock events to “my stuff” - However, pls be aware that peacock will not be showing the Exhibition on Sunday (15:00 local; 1am eastern)….because there’s always someone asking about the exhibition!!!!

 

[Aceon6]

The schedule is butt ugly for Eastern time if you want to see everyone. I'm sure I'll be able to stay awake for pairs and for the RD, but the rest will depend on my ability to time shift. The idea of joining the ISU stream for singles at 6 am local time then rewinding during resurfacing and warmups is sounding better and better.

 

[mtnskater]

Can’t believe USA is not showing the ice dance. I want to record it on my DVR. Unbelievable when the US is so strong in dance. The NBC networks just never change

It's bad enough Peacock has no replays, but the USA schedule is almost as awful, even if you are on the East Coast. It's still the middle of the night for people on Central/Mountain/Pacific time.

We don't know that yet - some event replays did start showing up -- not advertised -- during U.S. Nationals/Euros, 4CC, Junior Worlds...

I’m resigned to very little live viewing and I’m in EDT.

 

[Lacey]

Well my TIVO picked up all USA and NBC (except too early for 4/9 NBC Recap), & Peacock picked up all of the skating & I have put it into the PeacockMyStuff folder, so better than nothing, but the Japan hours are horrible for east coast US.

I do not know if I can bear watching 4 middle of the night days. Eastern time is brutal.

 

[Sparks]

According to this, the gala will be shown on Peacock. Of course that could change

[Amy L]

I don't trust Peacock for replays. Their "48 hour replays" either didn't exist at all or lasted for 12.

Can my laptop virtually travel to Brazil again or is the ISU channel not streaming this?

 

[Sylvia]

The ISU Skating YT channel will be livestreaming Worlds as usual - here's the link to the ISU's "Where To Watch" info for Worlds, published today: https://isu.org/figure-skating/media/wtw

 

[chantilly]

The ISU channel posts the videos of the entire event after the live streaming, at least through the entire season this far.

Yes, but the ISU has been hit with at least two copyright infringements in the last few months regarding ISU Championship videos. So my advice for those all in a panic about not seeing it on Peacock or not being able to get it to their DVR is to find the recordings shortly after they are finished, download them to your hard drive (yes, this technology has been around for a long time now), and then make DVDs or cast the videos to your TV or whatever else.

 

[A.H.Black]

Times are better for those of us in the west. I plan to watch pairs and dance and then bad the singles and hope that Peacock keeps them up for delayed viewing. The morning broadcast on USA should pick up most of what I miss. Actually, I'm pretty pumped about pairs and dance this year.

 

[nickp]

it’s going to be another late night staying up to watch figure skating

I had been doing just this, however I was only able to download one segment at the beginning of Euros. Since then all I get error messages when I try to download, even immediately after the live streaming. Some refuse to even start downloading while others frustratingly appear to be downloading for hours, (that's unfortunately how long all those videos take for me), then suddenly with mere moments to completion they just vanish.

Have you been using a separate software to download the videos? I used a program called ClipGrab for a long time while I was having to make my own music video playlists for my job, but I noticed towards the end that some videos would freeze at 80% or so. I updated the program and then didn't have those problems anymore; but it's always possible that there are some newer copy-protection features in the videos that cause them to error out.

 

[Skate Talker]

Thanks for the reply Tony. I was using Any Video Converter, which worked well for years, though it was quite slow. In the last year or so, if the event was also streamed and archived on the CBC sports website, I could download it at least 4 times faster, but that doesn't work either. I am inclined to believe it is indeed newer copyright protection.

 

[Braulio]

There is another option, I use Internet Download Manager, I think you can try for free for a week, it almost downloads everything from youtube, cbc, etc...

Sometimes it's better if you wait like 15-30 minutes after the stream ended, then refresh the youtube stream for the i.e. Men Short Program and download with Internet Download Manager, it gives you the feature to download in several qualities options

I did notice they are available. But I can't dawdle.

Exactly. Luckily I'm currently on work from home, so I was able to catch the first flight during my lunch hour, and the rest after work was over. Luckily you can forward the on-demand so I skipped the ice makes and warm-ups. That gave me a whole hour to eat dinner before the Pairs FS starts. Almost like being there.
